Chapter 94: Battle against the Beheading Man
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Tianshangyuan Bar. We will still bring you wonderful shows today!"
"Magic, acrobatics, dance, songs, whatever you are looking for, we have it!"
"Of course, there is still the final highlight, which is today's 'Emperor's Cup' singles competition!"
"I'm sure everyone knows the rules. If you're optimistic about a certain side, just throw in your chips and the staff will automatically raise the stakes!"
"If you are not interested in betting, you can move to the VIP seats, where there are drinks, beverages and desserts for you to negotiate."
"Finally, thank you again to all the bosses for coming. I hope you all have a good time~"
At about 7 o'clock in the evening, the host, dressed in gorgeous attire, stepped under the spotlight. After a few opening remarks, the atmosphere on the scene became heated.
After giving Oreki Yu some instructions, Toono Rin left to socialize. She seemed to have a great reputation in this circle, so much so that many people wanted to meet her.
Oreki Yuu was holding his racket, sitting alone in the waiting area, waiting quietly, like a lone ranger.
He looked at the world of feasting and revelry before him, where everyone had a smile on their face, but he just felt a little out of place.
As time goes by.
The performance mentioned by the host also followed.
Magicians with exaggerated movements, singers dressed in fancy clothes, and dancers dressed sexily, one performance after another was performed.
Because the flashing lights on the stage hurt his eyes, he simply closed his eyes and stopped looking.
I waited for about an hour.
A female voice that seemed to have a magnetic feel came from the side.
"The competition is about to begin. Are you the contestant this time?"
Oreki Yu opened his eyes and found that the person who appeared in front of him was the female host who was dressed up. She had heavy makeup on her face and bright lipstick on her lips. The dress made her plump figure look extremely sexy. As she got closer, the smell of perfume hit her face.
Oreki Yu frowned, but still nodded.
"Well, I am."
The female host was a little surprised at the boy who was wearing a hat and a mask and covered himself tightly, and couldn't help asking:
"How old are you this year?"
"What? Does playing in black net games depend on age?"
"That's not the case... But the Emperor's Cup is very dangerous. Do you know who your opponent is?"
The female host had seen countless people. Although the boy covered himself tightly, she could still tell from some small details that the boy was obviously not very old. Although he was nearly 170 cm tall, he was probably far from an adult. Out of kindness, she said a few more words to him.
After all, it is somewhat against the will of heaven to let a child who may still be in junior high school play in this kind of competition.
Oreki Yu heard this and realized that the hostess might have seen his age, so he pulled up the brim of his hat and said:
"I know it's dangerous, but I think I should be able to participate."
The female host frowned and said:
"Little classmate, is this your first time here?"
"Um......"
"Then do you know what this place is? How many people come here healthy but leave disabled?"
"..."
"Listen to my sister's advice and go back. Your mother is still waiting for you at home, right? What would she think if she knew you were here? Wouldn't she be very worried?"
Oreki Yuu remained silent for a long time before he raised his head and answered seriously:
"Thank you for your kindness, but I have made up my mind. That is why I have to participate in this competition. This decision will not be shaken."
The female host was slightly stunned when she came into contact with his serious black eyes.
Those were a pair of pure, clear, yet determined eyes, different from those of all the people she had come into contact with over the years. They had a bit of the stubbornness and obstinacy of a teenager, which was both cute and pitiful, making her unable to bear to refuse his request.
"Oh... Never mind. Since you've already made up your mind, I can't say anything more. But, be careful~ If it's too late, stop it as soon as possible!"
"Well, thank you."
........
After leaving the waiting area, the female host couldn't help but sigh.
It can be seen that this young man came here to play illegal tennis because of family reasons.
This is quite similar to her experience back then. She also embarked on this road of no return in order to help her father pay off his debts. If possible, she really hopes that this innocent boy can stay away from the darkness here, because some things, once you are involved, are difficult to get rid of.
"Next, it's the Emperor's Cup tennis match that everyone has been looking forward to for a long time."
"Before the game starts, let me remind you that within 5 minutes after the players come on stage, if you are optimistic about a player, sell your chips as soon as possible~ Otherwise, once the time is up, they will not count~"
"Okay, enough talking, let's welcome the contestants! First up is the 'beheader' that everyone is very familiar with, Marumori Ichiro!"
After announcing the opening words, the female host walked off the stage.
At the same time, a sturdy man who had been waiting on the sidelines jumped onto the court in three or two steps.
I saw that this was a big man who was nearly 190cm tall, with a face full of flesh and very well-developed muscles. His huge body stood on the court like a small mountain.
Ichiro Marumori pointed his finger across the court and made a gesture of wiping his neck. As soon as this provocative gesture was made, the atmosphere off the court became even more heated.
As soon as he came on stage, there were enthusiastic cheers from the audience below.
"Behead the man, Marumori Ichiro!"
"Your muscles are getting better!"
"How are you going to 'behead' today?"
"Hahahaha, let's explode your brains again. It wasn't satisfying enough to watch last time!"
Ichiro Marumori listened to the praises from the audience, and a conceited smile appeared on his face. That villain's face looked somewhat ferocious.
"I'm sure everyone is aware of Marumori-kun's strength. He has won 46 black net matches! He has beheaded 42 people in total, 19 of whom were seriously injured and 2 died. He is a well-deserved beheader and the defending champion of the previous Emperor's Cup!"
As the female host spoke, she also glanced sideways at the notorious beheader. She was almost frightened at the sight of him. This guy had scars all over his face, and there seemed to be a red murderous intent in his eyes. That was the look of a murderer...
The female host was terrified and hurriedly continued reading from the script.
"And his challenger is our mysterious guest today! He also has a background that cannot be underestimated. He is from the Tono family, codenamed 'The Ghost of No Thought'. Come on, welcome!"
As the female host's voice fell.
Oreki Yu, who was sitting in the audience and waiting quietly, slowly opened his eyes.
He has been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Next, it’s time to take action...
He stood up, walked slowly onto the court, and came to the place covered by lights.
Perhaps it was because of the unique simplicity of his dress, or perhaps it was his quiet temperament, that he attracted the attention of many people.
"He is the challenger? Are you sure? How can a person with such a small body be able to defeat a beheader?"
"Yes, he looks very young. Was he really introduced by the Tono family?"
"No! 'Food' is too boring. Can't we change to someone stronger?"
